Okay, I'm sure this has been covered before but bare with me. I'm not sure if I'm measuring correctly. Not for bra sizing purposes but for NBE purposes. When I measure loosely I get between 35.5 inches to 36 inches, depends on the swelling. But when I measure in a tight way then its about 34.5. Should I go by the tight measurement or the loose one? It's an inch difference for gods sake. I keep feeling that I look smaller than I'm supposed to be so maybe Ive been measuring all along and I'm actually smaller than I think I am.
Yet again, does it even matter what I measure? I feel like it depresses me sometimes when I start thinking about the tight measurement so maybe we are supposed to only measure by eyes and not a tape?

The cursed measuring tape is a TOOL sent by the NBE demons sent to torture and call to us on a regular basis. This tool changes its readings if you move as much a fraction of an inch causing us frustration and dissapointment at each time of its use... and with that said i say $@@# the sodding measuring tape and judge by your eyes and how you fit in your bras
Measuring tape aside i wear 32 b/c/d and 34a/b's and the dumb thing is... they all fit me !!

When I measure I do it without a bra and look away from the tape so that I don't subconsciously cheat to get a higher amount or go too loose or tight. I put the beginning of the tape on one nipple and then feel exactly where it meets with the other side and bend or pinch that part while not directly looking. I do this about 3-5 times and almost always get the same. I measure after while looking and again the same number. I would say which ever number appears the most is most likely the correct measurement.
